Anyone else think the finished products resemble the original Romero zombies from Dawn of the Dead? I'm not sure if this makes it more or less awesome. posted by slimepuppy at 11:02 AM on July 16, 2007

Is anyone else bothered by the fact these dolls have two right hands? posted by psmealey at 11:07 AM on July 16, 2007
I used to work for a porn/sex toy distributor, so, while I'm not an authority on the subject,, I do have some things to add.
a) All the components on these dolls are going to get VERY nasty indeed within a short period of time. Cyberskin has a tendency to break down when placed in contact with pretty much any other plastic (like the mannequin body) and will eventually deteriorate on its own, leaving a trail of foul smelling chemical slime in its wake. The non-cyberskin rubber is not much better, though it won't break down the same way. It still secretes disgusting oily ooze that isn't really good for you to be sticking your business in (or sticking in your business, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.)
b) Asses: There aren’t any complete tushes that we’re aware of
He didn't look hard enough. I know we sold a variety of asses, including a complete casting of Nina Hartley's ass and vagina.
c) For the cost of those components, which would run into the hundreds of dollars, one could obtain a sex doll with a similar set of components set into an inflatable doll. There was a Chasey Lain model that I remember in particular that had a full mannequin head with a battery operated tongue and creepy rubber hands and feet. posted by louche mustachio at 11:30 AM on July 16, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]

b-b-battery op-op-operated toungue? The mind boggles.
I was hoping for something that involved a fifty year old arc welder, some soggy driftwood, a crusty oil barrel, naptha, steel wool and powdered aluminum. posted by prostyle at 11:37 AM on July 16, 2007 [3 favorites has favorites]
Pfft, all you really need are scissors, a couple of wire hangers, duct tape, some couch cushions and a wet/dry vac.
You may want to get your mom or dad to help you with cutting the necessary holes in the couch cushions... posted by Alvy Ampersand at 11:38 AM on July 16, 2007
You kids with the batteries and technology. What ever happened to using seedless melons? posted by tkchrist at 11:40 AM on July 16, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]
I've had one of these for years. Her name is Hanes, which I admit isn't as sexy as other female names, but it is written right there on her cottony, white skin. And after all these years, she hasn't lost a bit of her elastic form. Ahhh, Miss Hanes, you dirty girl. posted by NationalKato at 12:42 PM on July 16, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]

I think I'm more disturbed by the Popcorn Pocket Pussy, if only because I can be reasonably sure that people won't be bringing their Frankensluts to the theater and sitting next to me during Ratatoullie.
The Straightener - I doubt that these dolls can accomplish anything that a starved dog and a jar of Skippy can't.
But the odds of having your Johnson bitten off are much much lower with the Frankenslut. posted by porpoise at 2:53 PM on July 16, 2007
Yunno, being able to inconspicuously stick your monkey into a popcorn tub and being able to inconspicuously thrust your monkey into a popcorn tub are two entirely different things.

Okay if you're gonna spend this much time and money in making a fake whore, just save up your money and get a real one.
Maybe this would be sexually stimulating for engineers who spend their time building stuff anyway. To me this just looks like work. Asking a girl out on a date sounds a lot easier, and less expensive. Although admittedly it's not so much a sure thing.
So. Okay. This is for engineers with no social skills. Am I getting warm? posted by ZachsMind at 3:29 PM on July 16, 2007
Oh come on ZachsMind. I've never used anything like an artificial vagina much less an artificial body (unless you're talking about Aunt Palm and her five daughters &c.) but although you may have a point about getting a 'real whore', a realdoll doesn't compare to fucking an actual person in terms of the rational choices one makes to get to either end (that is to say they're hardly substitutes in terms of the -- excuse the phrase -- barrier to entry.) Real girls need at least some cognitive attention to their person beyond their use as orifices. It's a whole different ball game so to speak. It's disingenous to pretend otherwise. posted by Firas at 4:00 PM on July 16, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
I don't think they'll ever form the close relationships with their mannequins that these men do with their Real Dolls. posted by The corpse in the library at 4:05 PM on July 16, 2007

One of the strangest sex toy mutations we’ve ever seen is a masturbator shaped like a woman’s foot, with a fuckable vagina on the sole. Yes, a vagina on the sole of the foot.
I think it might even be accurate to state that I have never conceived of a vagina being located any other place than where one usually finds them located.
A vagina in a foot? There is a strange genius to that sort of thinking. It is, in my opinion, a truly brilliant idea.
Still, I'm glad it wasn't my idea. posted by five fresh fish at 6:40 PM on July 16, 2007
The final product looks sort of like how I imagine the first-generation sexbots will look like. Except they'll have visor eyes! posted by maus at 6:40 PM on July 16, 2007

Vaginas would be better on walls and furniture than feet. One could have a Vagina Wall and invite friends over.
And that brief second or so that I dared to glimpse at that mannequin was enough to burn the image into my brain. Damn you! posted by Burhanistan at 8:28 PM on July 16, 2007

Interestingly, the nerve connections from the genitals are very very close to the areas from the feet; some speculate that this jjuxtaposition of wiring gives rise to foot fetishism in some people.
And I got my first (that I know of) "Metafilter: xxx"
*One of the things that really fascinates me is that if one loses a finger to, say, an accident, the adjacent fingers become more sensitive and the corresponding brain regions "take over" the region that the lost finger takes up (which has been pretty authoritatively proven in non-human primate experiments, also). I've heard anecdotes of para- and quadra-palegic people who lose sensitivity below the waist and subsequently develop hyper-erotic nipples - which would be consistent with the degree of plasticity that the human brain is capable of.

Does anyone else think the "DIY flashlight sex toy" on the sidebar is not worth the trouble?
The whole idea of the Lay's potato chip can as a homemade fleshlight is just not going to work because #1) It looks silly, not sexy, and #2) real Lay's would be devoured in 5 nanoseconds. Your can-o-love could be discovered by a buddy with the munchies, negating the benefit of having a supersecret sex toy in a special hidey place. Of course, if you have a homemade sex doll in the closet, you're probably not worried about about that kind of thing.
Flashlights are much more sexy. posted by vewystwange at 6:32 PM on July 17, 2007
If desired, use a pink or red marker to draw a vagina or lips on the foam around the center hole before covering the foam with the condom.
